About this property

Spacious apartment with fantastic views, skiing and walking, Chatel

This delightful self catering apartment is on the edge of Chatel in Petit Chatel. There is a roomy living/dining area with a separate kitchen. The long south facing balcony offers breathtaking panoramic views of ski slopes, with the main village and Dranse Valley below. Two recently refurbished bedrooms provide ample storage space and flexible sleeping possibilities. The double bedroom has French windows opening onto the balcony with views down the valley. The bunk bedded room has one set of bunk beds with a pull out bed underneath. There is also a futon which can be used as a sofa or extra sleeping if needed. The bathroom contains a bath, shower and washbasin. There is a separate toilet. The kitchen has been recently refurbished and is equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, hob, oven and microwave. Underfloor heating throughout the apartment is supplemented with electric wall heaters.

Outside there is a ski locker and a covered private parking area.


Summer Season Rentals: Based above the village of Chatel the apartment commands stunning views of the Dranse valley. Being south facing you can sit and admire the view all day. For the more active, you can wander through the woods, over the alpine pastures behind the apartment or ascend the nearby mountains. If you do not want to walk uphill some of the ski-lifts run in July and August enabling you to enjoy the views without the effort. Walk away from the lifts and the quiet valleys are full of wildlife. Mountain bike trails use the ski runs during the summer: many shops hire out suitable bikes and equipment. There is an open air swimming pool and a number of tennis courts in Chatel. The tourist office has information on the extensive entertainment programmes which run during the season, including guided walks, concerts and children's activities. We participate in the Portes du Soleil MulitPass scheme. Further afield there are golf courses around and sailing on Lake Geneva - just 45 minutes from Chatel.

Great apartment - very well equipped
We had a great couple of weeks in this apartment. Booking and communication very easy with the owner. The apartment is very well equipped and felt more like a home than a holiday rental. Washing machine, dishwasher and free wifi particularly useful. It's situated up above the village with great views, the free ski bus stops at the end of the drive and the bins are also at the end of the drive. Covered parking also great. It's a fair walk down to the village, you'll therefore normally want to use the bus or car. We'd highly recommend it. The layout of double room and bunk room make it great for a family stay.

Great apartment
The apartment is spacious, well equipped and clean. The arrangement with the futon for a third person to sleep in the second bedroom doesn't quite work in my opinion though. Still we enjoyed our stay enormously- the view on a clear morning is just spectacular.

Schöne Gegend mit einer guten, bezahlbaren Wohnung
Die Wohnung ist verhältnismässig gross für den Preis. Der Preis war gut am gebuchten Datum, wenn man die Textilien selber mitbringt und die Endreinigung selber macht. Es gibt eine gute Küche, eine tolle Wohnecke und eine gemütliche Ecke mit einem Esstisch. Die Ausstattung ist guter Durchschnitt. Es gibt ein sehr gutes wlan, Sat-Tv und für den Winter gibt es genug Heizungen. Das Auto kann in einer Garage versorgt werden, was wegen dem starken Schneefall ein grosser Vorteil war. Man hat einen Balkon mit gutem Ausblick. Der Kontakt mit der Agence war unkompliziert und angenehm. Wenn genug Schnee vorhanden ist, kann man bei einigen Liften in der Region skifahren. Ausserhalb von der Hauptsaison scheint im Winter nicht so viel los zu sein in Châtel.

Hazel S., Stockport

Excelent introduction to the Alps in winter
The description is spot on; a very well designed apartment with everything you need to self-cater and be comfortable. Beautiful location, especially when it's warm enough to use the balcony and have the full views up and down the valley. It's clean and well maintained so we did not ask for any further service. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves the mountains, outdoor activities, yet village amenities in easy reach We loved the local walks, snow shoeing (easy to hire in Chatel), excellent bakery, butcher, supermarket, weekly market, refuges and cafes within walk/ bus/ lift reach in winter. Also enjoyed a concert of Savoyard songs in the church

It's so good we keep on coming back!
This was the third time we've stayed in this lovely apartment. It's always immaculate with tons of space, and the views from the south facing balconies are stunning. The skiing is much better than we ever expected in Chatel, with easy access to the Portes du Soleil circuit. We've always been lucky with the snow, and often been able to ski almost back to the apartment (right to the doorstep if you don't mind dodging over a fence and down the field opposite - great if the snow is deep!) I don't ski every day, sometimes we go snow-shoeing, again from the chalet. A favourite walk is up to the ridge and then back down via Theo's restaurant (near the Barbossine lift) where you can get the best hot chocolate in the area! (open in winter only). Although the chalet is up the hill out of the town, it's easy to get to the main lifts as the bus stops right outside and goes direct to both Super Chatel and Linga lifts. There's never a problem getting a seat as the bus starts just a couple of stops away. It's a shame there's no baker nearby (in January at least) but we can always get bread in the village on the way home in the evening, and you can buy excellent cheese from the farm next door. I expect we'll be back again!
